“Helen is a true dog lover. She is able to work with all sizes of dogs. She has worked with a trainer and has a very good understanding of animal behavior and how to work with difficult behaviors. Helen taught me that the dog walk is not just bonding/training time between dog and walker but also an exciting sensory experience that is very important in very dog’s day. She is very dependable no matter what the weather is like. If the dog will go out she will too! She will be an excellent addition to Rover.”

13. Fabrice L.
“I could not have been happier with the dog sitting services provided by Fabrice. For two weeks while I was out of town, he cared for my beloved dogs Rufus and Millie as if they were his own. From our first meeting, I could tell that Fabrice had a true love for animals. He got down on the floor to play with Rufus and Millie and asked many thoughtful questions about their routines, personalities, and needs. He even sent me cute photos of them throughout the day, which reassured me so much. When I returned, my house was as I left it and the dogs were happy and healthy. Their food and water bowls were filled, medications administered correctly, and he had clearly spent time playing with and feeding them. I particularly appreciated that Fabrice respected his program of walks and exercises. I could tell that Millie, usually very nervous, was calm and content. And old Rufus seemed especially lively and puppy-like, a clear sign of the loving care he was receiving. I will absolutely call Fabrice the next time I need someone to watch my precious puppies and for the slightest occasion. He is caring, responsible and completely dedicated to the comfort and happiness of dogs. I couldn't recommend him more highly for pet sitting or dog walking services. My dogs and I give it our enthusiastic rating of 5 out of 5 stars! Fab...ulous”

15. Angelina B.
“Angelina was truly one of our most valuable volunteers. I served as president of The Gulfshore Animal League when she first joined our team and I am so glad she did....she is always willing to go the extra mile and was dedicated to the animals we rescued. On time every time. Reliable. Very friendly and kind to our donors and patrons. I would highly recommend her to anyone!!”
16. Annie A.
“Annie is fantastic! The funny part is I have never met her, but my other half did and said she was an angel! She is super accommodating for me and my pup. She sends pictures, and keeps me updated. She keeps our home safe, and makes sure it’s all locked up when she leaves. She was even willing to take my pup to the vet when he was sick and I was working. I use her weekly and say enough good things :)”
17. Kailea K.
“Kailea did a great job.”
18. Erin F.
“Her kind, caring way with our shy dog Beau was wonderful. As soon as they left the house, he warmed right up to her. She’s very communicative and tries to make the time you need for a walk work. I am sure we will be booking her again.”
19. Karissa E.
“Karissa watched my puppy Rogelio for two weeks and was an absolute dream! She followed our feeding schedule and made sure he didn’t go outside since he hasn’t had all of his shots yet. She took him to a vet appointment and was very thorough in filling in me on everything that was said. Rogelio loves his auntie Karissa and is looking forward to the next visit with her as I will certainly be booking her any time I have to leave island. She was very good about keeping up with his training as well which was very important to us. I have no doubt that you and your pups will love Karissa as much as we do!”
20. Tao L.
“I’m a long time friend of Taos and have two dogs of my own and he takes good care of them when me and my family are out of town. I’ve done longer extended dog sitting up to a week at longest and the dogs love him.”
